Gŵyl Haf | Fifty Sounds: A New Japanese Dictionary @gwylhaf8891 | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Polly Barton's new book Fifty Sounds is an exploration of what it's like to learn and live in a language. Part memoir, essay and dictionary, it is an honest love letter to language and Japanese. This talk is a look at how she complicates the questions I would normally ask of a translator in an interview.
